The jury of six men and six women heard that the complainant went out with friends the following night, New Year's Eve, went away to New York in the new year and waited almost three weeks before reporting Traviss to police.

The complainant went home from Traviss's house but was too embarrassed to tell her flatmate what had happened.

She met a male friend on New Year's Eve and told him.

They were walking to meet other friends for dinner but her friend suggested they should have a quiet night in instead.

"She didn't want to let their friends down and decided to try to put it out of her mind that evening," said Miss Lumsdon.

"She says that she didn't think at the time she understood the 'full scale of what had happened to her'."

On January 2 she fulfilled travel plans to stay with a male friend in New York.

She told him what had happened but was unsure if she should tell the police, the court heard.

He persuaded her to attend a hospital in The Hamptons, near where they were staying, but while waiting there she changed her mind.

She said she did so because Traviss was well-known and she did not want the incident to end up in the newspapers.

And she was worried about how much she "had to go through by reporting it".

"She thought it would be easier to forget about it," Miss Lumsdon said.

On January 18 the woman visited the Haven in Paddington, west London, where she told staff about the alleged rape.

Traviss was arrested on April 5.

The court was told their versions of the night were the same up until the final bar they visited.

Traviss, appearing in court in a jacket and tie and with his trademark Brylcreemed hair swept to the side, said they were both equally drunk - about seven out of 10.

He said that, when they got back to his property, she lit some candles and declined the suggestion that he should sleep on the sofa.

The complainant told him to sleep in the bed with her, he told officers.

They had consensual sex with a condom before stopping and moving to a sofa where they agreed "we shouldn't have done that" because they were old friends, the jury heard.

Traviss told officers the woman then said: "Oh, come on, let's go and get back into bed again."

His case is that they had sex again, and she wanted to continue but he was too tired.

They parted the next day with a "big cuddle and a kiss", he told detectives.

This afternoon the complainant, speaking from behind a screen, told the court Traviss had been "shattered" by Winehouse's death.

She said she had seen him about six weeks before the alleged rapes when he was "shattered and quite distressed" by his girlfriend's death.

She said they saw each other three or four times a year with no suggestion of romance.

She said she did not know why he attacked her.

But she said she got back into bed with the defendant after the first alleged rape because she trusted him not to touch her again.

Waking up a second time and being attacked she said: "I had this blurry understanding of what was happening and I couldn't understand if it was happening or a bad dream and I just passed out."

She added: "I can't understand how somebody so nice and gentlemanly could do something like that."

Ian Winter QC, cross examining, said the pair had consensual sex and her claims were "frankly absurd".

After the alleged rapes the pair texted each other about possibly meeting up the following night to go to a rock band's after-show party.

Mr Winter said if she had woken up being raped she would have left the flat but the complainant said she was far too tired and could not find her clothes.

The barrister said she had told police on "12 separate occasions" she "thought it was a dream".

He said she also told police: "I kind of remember the first part, the second part was really blurry, like having sex with my boyfriend,".

The complainant said she was "very very drunk" in the final bar, Jet Black, which is owned by Traviss's brother.

She said she could not stand.

Mr Winter asked how drunk she was at 3.02am and said he would come back to the issue.
